Carol tells us that Ken's latest results are "Clean as a whistle! Normal prostate gland." And she says that last week's bone scan showed "Nothing but normal."

Congratulations, Ken!!!!!!!!!!

Today is 90 days from the date my husband Kenneth E. Bergener was admitted to the Burzynski Research Clinic as a patient. His treatment with antineoplastons began on November 16, 1999. We celebrated Ken's 70th birthday on December 30, 1999.

Ken received NO OTHER cancer treatment of any kind, before or since his admission to the Burzynski Clinic. We were told that the FDA created a new protocol for Ken because he had had no previous treatment.

Diagnosed in Aberdeen, Washington, in July 1999 with "untreatable, advanced prostate cancer," Ken's PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen, a blood component) was 50.8. A bone scan showed intense, widespread cancer activity in his ribs, shoulder bones, spine, and hips. Ken was experiencing excruciating pain.

Two weeks after Ken's treatment with antineoplastons began, his PSA reading dropped to 1.3--a NORMAL reading.

Bone scan and MRI readings taken in Aberdeen, Washington, since February 1, 2000, thrust our local (Western Washington) medical community into almost comic confusion --

(Boy, they're sure scrambling to account for the "anomaly." One of them mentioned "some treatment down in Texas.")

Wow! -- Ninety days and no side effects except acid reflux. WOW!

My first husband died in 1978 of stomach cancer, and I watched the horrible torture he endured with chemotherapy -- his penis swelled to the size of my upper arm and his scrotum became as large as a basketball, his genitalia reaching down to his knees, making it almost impossible for him to walk. His genitalia turned black and crisp as though burned. We outraged Americans tried Nazi physicians for war crimes for less horrible tortures in the name of experimental science, didn't we?
